[center][b]Summary:[/b] Training and conversing continues. Kathy and Carmen recover from the wayward Crashball.[/center] [i][u] - Crash - [/u][/i] Crash hadn't expected her to grab his wrist, neither had he even thought she'd attempt to poke him back...he felt his cheeks flush at the comment and jolted away from her hand in a rather exaggerated motion not that he could escape as she had a hold of him . "Duly noted!" He squeaked upon being jabbed. Upon his connection with the two other students the wayward Crashball ground to a halt, having knocked both Kathy and Carmen away from him he was now sprawled out on the ground where they had been stood a moment ago his gangly limbs out haphazardly around him. [i]Why? Why did that just happen...?[/i] He lifted his head groggily hoping the circling tweety birds would fade away soon, as he pulled himself upright onto his knees, rubbing his nose which had been the first thing to connect with the ground. He was about to see whether the girls had managed to stay upright when he heard his name murmured, his head instantly shrunk down and his shoulders lifted as he adopted a very guilty expression. He was knelt next to both her and Carmen looking incredibly guilty, especially as he noticed Carmen had also been knocked to the ground. "I'm so sorry! Are you both ok?" He asked them, scrabbling to his feet he quickly offered both of them a hand up. "...I didn't mean to, just..." Crash murmured, quickly retrieving Carmen's trumpet and handing it to her with an apologetic smile, glancing at Kathy with the same sheepish apology. [i][u] - Lily - [/u][/i] Lily walked up to see Matt with another.. rather bright looking guy just in time to hear him bragging about his archery skills. [b]"I've never understood the term, 'badass'. What's good about being an ass or being bad?"[/b] She mumbled, a brow raised. [i][u] - Darwin - [/u][/i] Darwin's head shot up as he sniffed the air. He could smell something...it smelled like....heaven. He'd been to heaven once, in a dream. According to his father he was born in heaven but was too awesome so they sent him down to earth to contain his rainbow...ness. He turned around to see a familiar face. IT WAS THE GIRL HE HAD MET IN THE BOOK SHOP! And then before anyone knew it he was running towards her and hugged her. "LILLEH!" He screamed. "Your alive! I thought you had died!" He laughed again and let her go. "Skittle? I got them from the black market!" [i][u] - Lily - [/u][/i] Her eyes shot open at Darwin's response to her presence. She honestly hadn't expected to be attacked by him like that. She lifted an awkward arm and pulled it around to touch his back. [b]"It's... nice to see you too?"[/b] She responded, [b]"No... I haven't died..."[/b] She let out a long sigh as he offered her a skittle. [b]"No, thanks. I just... want to shoot."[/b] She explained, shaking her head slowly. [i][u] - Darwin - [/u][/i] He stepped back from her with a still amazing giant grin. "Aww really? No skittles? Pretty sure I got this of a Russian dictator, but oh well!" With that Darwin down the whole packet of the skittles with a satisfied gulp. "Man...those were good." He was pretty sure he tasted some extra flavouring, cyanide perhaps. "OH! Me and Matty were just about to do that, care to join us!" He chuckled razily and lifted a gaint rainbow coloured bow up. "LET US DESTROY ALL!" [u][i] - Matt - [/u][/i] "Really? I haven't had that much practice, but maybe you could give me some tips?" Matt asked. However, Darwin was distracted by something else. "LILLEH!" he screamed, making Matt cover his ears. Darwin shot off and hugged a girl whom Matt recognized immediately. Sure, Darwin screamed her name at the top of his lungs, but still. Matt walked over to them. "Hey Lily, I haven't seen you much. Were've you been?" he asked curiously. [i][u] - Annie - [/u][/i] Annie turned to the students in the room and took in a deep breath. [b]"For those of you that want to study under me, I'm heading outside. Just come find me."[/b] She yelled before walking outside. She found the small sand pit she'd made and sat down on the large smooth stone in the middle to meditate while she waited. [i][u] - Lily & Matt - [/u][/i] Lily turned to see Matt walking over. She honestly didn't know whether she was relieved or... something else. She didn't know. All she knew was that she'd finally found someone she knew would respond to her at the very least. Well, Darwin had as well but... if she had to be honest Darwin was a bit much for her. [b]"Hey Matt. Yeah. I've been... okay. What about you?"[/b] She told him, putting a smile on her face. If Matt knew her well enough, he'd be able to see how tired she really looked. She hadn't been sleeping lately. Matt caught the hesitation in Lily's answer. "You don't seem okay." Matt said worriedly. "You sound really tired. Are you sure you should be training?" [b]"I'll be fine. Thanks for worrying, Matt."[/b] She told him, a small smile appearing on her face. If she had to be honest, Matt was probably the only friend she had currently. Though... could she trust him? She didn't know... "I'm serious though, you need rest. Do you want me to take you back to your little beach hut?" Matt asked, mentally adding that to his list of rarely said quotes. His words made Lily chuckle a bit. [b]"No Matt. I'm fine. I'd rather not be alone right now. Plus, I want to work on archery. It might make me feel better."[/b] She told him, trying to stop him from worrying. "If you insist. We're going to do some archering as well, you want to join us?" Matt asked, motioning to Darwin and himself. "I've never actually done it, but it sounds really fun." [b]"I was planning on joining in."[/b] She said, her voice brighter than it was before. [b]"I've only done it once. It is fun... Though, guns are more fun."[/b] She told him, sticking her tongue out playfully. "Probably 'cause they're easier! All you do is pull a trigger, and it does everything else for you. Bows are actually difficult." Matt replied, sticking his tongue back at her just as playfully. [i][u] - Darwin - [/u][/i] Darwin watched with a fixed smile as the two exchanged banter. It was actually very amusing fir Darwin, he didn't like getting involved in all this romantic love thing, but he loved to watch t. "Well, both of you combined won't be able to stand up to the my rainbow bow!" He giggled like a madman and did a little good luck jig. [i][u] - Madame Serena - [/u][/i] Madame Serena continued to hum to herself, as she stirred her concoction she glanced over at Melanie as she approached her offering the woman a warm smile, she laughed lightly as she hesitantly inquired as to why she was here. "I suppose you could call me that, I'm just here as a favour to help these students learn and explore magic" She explained honestly catching the look she received, she wasn't worried it had been many, many, [i]many[/i] years since she had met someone capable of besting her, if Maria Cross walked in right now she may have had to restart the timer. She raised her eyebrows at the young lady as she pinched her nose, noticing Melanie's red eyes were beginning to water...what an odd reaction, the concoction was supposed to smell alluring. "You don't like Goulash? That's a shame...I thought I'd make some for old times sake" She grinned at the other teacher. "Melanie Slaughter pleasure to meet you" She smiled warmly. "I am Madame Serena dear, I see all, know all and tell all" She introduced herself giving the other teacher a wicked grin. "If we're to be working together might I ask what you specialize in? I don't want us to be teaching the same things" She asked. [i][u] - Mercy - [/u][/i] Mercy was perched atop a wooden face, one leg crossed elegantly over the other her foot tapping along to the tune she was singing along to. The archery area was set up just behind the range dojo for the moment it didn't look like much just a large field with a dirt track straight across one edge and several round targets at the other end. The targets stood on wooden tripods with round slabs of wood as the main face of the target which in turn had rope swirled around the front of them with bullseyes neatly painted onto them. Mercy lifted her honey eyes to inspect the field watching Koop fly across the ground looking for things to do to keep himself busy as they waited to see if anyone would throw them any interest. She had a traditional Mongolian recurve bow perched against the fence next to her, a light brown quiver full to the brim with arrows sat next to it. "A few more minutes, if no-one turns up then that's that" She grumbled, Koop instantly shot towards her. "Can't have to stay here until training is over, kupo-po!" Koop reminded her. "Tch" She tutted in annoyance she'd not been in the best of moods for the past hour, she was hoping she'd be able to shake it off [i]if[/i] any students showed up she hated feeling negative...perhaps she should seek out her favourite unicorn? It was near on impossible to be sad around him. "You can't leave here until training is over, kupo-po" Koop repeated watching her scowl at him and turn away in a huff. Koop shook his head and flew over to her right shoulder wriggling through a few tendrils of her silvery white hair crawling up and resting his torso over her shoulder, tucking his wings in tightly and purring contently. [i][u] - Cyber - [/i][/u] Cyber looked at Alistair and gave a nod. “Go, if it only makes you heal faster then ya go…” Cyber said unintentionally only because he was to focus on the kiss he had received earlier. He then picked up his backpack and opened it; there was bottle water in there. He threw it to Alistair but enough so he could catch t. Cyber rubbed the back if his neck and looked away blushing. “You…did very well in our one-one fight, here have this.” He then touched his lips…still thinking about the kiss. [i][u] - Zivon - [/u][/i] Zivon was still shaking with fear as the girl with snakes introduces herself to him. As the snakes looked at him he moved back and grabbed a book hiding his face that defiantly showed fear. He felt dizzy, sick and out o f breath…all he can do is mutter out words. “M-M-y n-n….n-na-m-e i-i…i-i-…s Z-Z-Zi….i-i…v-vi-i-v-v….o-n…” Zivon stuttered, showing his courage…well…most of it. He then noticed another guy… when he saw his face…he wanted to cry… It was that guy who shouted him and something with the yellow pain… He just stood there frozen…ready to collapse from fear. The book he was holding quickly decomposed in a mess and Zivon moved back. “Y-y…o-u….” He muttered out as then went completely mute, he wanted to cry but it showed how he was pathetic and was not able to do anything right at the past. [i][u] - Garden - [/u][/i] Garden smiled as all of them came towards the dojo but when she heard a loud bang she screamed as it caught her off guard. “Ahh!!” She shouted, she didn’t know what was still in there but the bang sounded weird, she never heard of it before. Garden turned around to her friends and asked. “Um What is that sound?...I never heard of it before…” [i][u] - Seven - [/u][/i] Seven looked at a girl and yawned again.. “Hey teacher lady!! (Annie) I will do anything…just give me something to do!!!” Seven shouted as he fell on the ground, landing face first but very intentional. He then flipped and then followed her. His ears twitched just looking at the lady but he just continued to follow her. “Hey!! Give me something to do!!’” Seven shouted again, he boredom was killing him.
